Further to this weeks mystery insect quiz, I thought you might like to see this report as regards the butterfly boom due to the mild spring weather. Claire
They were reporting this on the news earlier this morning also. Very good news indeed.
Incidentally I'm reading a book right now about a man who set himself a target to see and record every native species of British Butterfly in a year. Good read not sure if he managed it yet though. Its called "The Butterfly Isles" by Patrick Barkham.

That sounds like an interesting read Andrew, might keep an eye out for it.
Good news about the flutterbys! Thanks MrsT!
Yes that book does sound like a good read! Sounds a bit like "The biggest twitch"!
